Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on [[Virtualization]] improvements in Fedora 17. There is a '''large''' list of virtualization improvements coming in Fedora. To simplify things, testing will be divided up into a number of sections.

== Known issues ==

+

+

Before you begin testing, there are a few known bugs that should be taken into account

+

+

* firewalld service running on an F17 host can break guest network access if using libvirt virtual networks. work around is to disable or remove firewalld: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796479

+

* restarting libvirtd (which is also done on a package update) will forcibly stop all kvm guests and virtual networks: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805942

+

* running libvirtd inside a guest can break that guests networking. you can work around this by using 'sudo virsh net-edit default' inside the VM, and change all instances of 192.168.122 to 192.168.123 and restarting the VM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811967

* [[Test_Day:2012-04-12_Virtualization_Test_Day-GuestOS | GuestOS compatibility]] <br>&mdash; test installation of as many different guest operating system as as possible. (You will need a KVM bare metal host & lots of disk space)
